The same explanation, again and again
A new teacher in September. A substitute on a Tuesday. A sitter on Friday night, a party on Saturday. Each time, you start from the beginning, often in a hurry.
TellBite cards put your words on paper, so every adult gets the same clear message, and you can talk it through together.
One kit, everywhere your child goes
Wallet cards
In the lunchbox
Fold an “About my child” wallet card into the lunch bag: your child’s name, what they avoid and your phone number.

In the classroom
Contacts, foods to avoid, class treats and where the plan is kept.
Babysitter card
At the birthday party
Give the host a copy of the babysitter card: what not to give your child, and how to reach you.

What the cards are
Our cards are a communication aid. They help you say what your child needs, in a clear and friendly way. They do not replace your child’s medical plan, and they are not medical advice.

Who fills in the card?
You do. The cards come with blank fields for your child’s foods to avoid, signs to watch for, and contacts. We never decide what your child can or can’t eat.
Can I fill it in on my phone?
Yes. Use the free Adobe Acrobat Reader app. Many phone and browser PDF viewers show the fields but don’t save what you type. You can also print the print-only version and write by hand.
Is this medical advice?
No. Our cards are a communication aid. They help you explain your child’s needs. Always follow your child’s own medical plan from their doctor, allergist or dietitian. In an emergency, call 911.
